This is the first time we've had any significant time in the summer here, and I think I may go slightly mad. It's one thing to have holiday travel traffic. It's another thing entirely to realize that they're traveling here for their holiday. But I guess since it's over 100 in Phoenix already and it's a pleasant 75 here at the moment, I should accept the fact that I live in a summer homes area.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

I am so in love with climate control. I wanna go down and hug the monster unit (considering electric rates are supposed to jump 50% this month, I am so grateful to have an energy efficient one!) And just in time. It's freaking muggy out there. Even 75 would be uncomfortable.
Now if only I didn't have the itchies from dusting.

Yeah, muggy not really a problem for me. Heh. But yay for energy efficiency!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I only have 10 more minutes left!
Maybe I will even sneak out after 8.

I'm just guessing at the energy efficiency, since I didn't look at the label tonight. But judging from what This Old House tells me, they are larger in size now because of it. And this one is big. Suuposedly, I have a new furnace too, but I haven't pried open the utility closet to check.
Man, I'm obsessing, aren't I? Some form of post-trauma something.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

A/C are on in casa belle tonight. it's not too hot to sleep, but I'd rather the house be cooled off before I try.

Nothing worse than sleeping fitfully because you are all sweaty and sticking to the sheets and slimey. Well, insomnia, plus that.

I got out. There was a fight between 8th grade armenian boys and one 6th grade black girl. The boys took off, called their parents who were pissed and the dads came down, invited their relatives to "take care of it."
There was a huge police presence.
What is wrong with these people?
